My finish gravity was a bit high (1.022) so it was a bit sweeter than what it should've been. Otherwise it was nice and bitter with heaps of hoppy aroma. Will definitely brew again. Will try using a larger starter to reduce the final gravity. PS. Its great to watch an unadventurous beer drinker try this.
